Let's solve each part of the worksheet step by step.
---
Part 1: Write the decimal for each shaded part
Each grid represents
1 whole, divided into
100 equal parts (hundredths). So, each small square is worth
0.01.
We count how many squares are shaded and write that as a decimal.
1.
Grid A:
- 4 full columns (each column = 10 squares) → 4 × 10 = 40 squares
- Plus 5 more squares → total = 45
- Decimal:
0.45
2.
Grid B:
- 1 full column = 10 squares
- Plus 7 more squares → total = 17
- Decimal:
0.17
3.
Grid C:
- 9 full columns = 90 squares
- Plus 0 more → total = 90
- Decimal:
0.90
4.
Grid D:
- 5 full columns = 50 squares
- Plus 1 more → total = 51
- Decimal:
0.51
✔ Answers:
1. 0.45
2. 0.17
3. 0.90
4. 0.51

Part 2: Shade the grids for each number
We shade the appropriate number of squares in a 10×10 grid (100 squares).
1.
0.36 → 36 squares shaded
- Shade 3 full columns (30 squares), then 6 more squares.
2.
0.17 → 17 squares shaded
- Shade 1 full column (10), then 7 more.
3.
0.90 → 90 squares shaded
- Shade 9 full columns.
4.
0.51 → 51 squares shaded
- Shade 5 full columns (50), then 1 more.

Part 3: Write each decimal as a fraction
We write decimals as fractions with denominator 100, then simplify if possible.
1.
0.45 = 45/100 → Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 5 →
9/20
2.
0.63 = 63/100 → Can't be simplified →
63/100
3.
0.10 = 10/100 → Simplify: divide by 10 →
1/10
4.
0.04 = 4/100 → Simplify: divide by 4 →
1/25
5.
0.30 = 30/100 → Simplify: divide by 10 →
3/10
6.
0.79 = 79/100 → Can't be simplified →
79/100
✔ Answers:
1. 9/20
2. 63/100
3. 1/10
4. 1/25
5. 3/10
6. 79/100

Part 4: Write each fraction as a decimal
Convert fractions with denominator 100 to decimals by placing the numerator in the hundredths place.
1.
81/100 =
0.81
2.
12/100 =
0.12
3.
66/100 =
0.66
4.
__ /100 = 0.37 → We need the numerator: 37 →
37/100
5.
9/100 =
0.09
6.
16/100 =
0.16
✔ Answers:
1. 0.81
2. 0.12
3. 0.66
4. 37/100
5. 0.09
6. 0.16
